Tubular reactors are continuously operated reactors. They enable economic production of large product quantities with a consistent quality.
It is part of a device series that enables experiments with different reactor types. In conjunction with the supply unit, it is possible to examine the function and behaviour of a tubular reactor. The supply unit has a heating water circuit as well as all necessary connections, pumps, tanks for reactants and a product tank.
It is mounted onto the supply unit and held by two pins in position. Quick-release couplings enable easy connection of the reactor to the supply unit.
